obama stumped for both of them. what does this say about obama's influence these days? is it waning or is it okay? what do you think? >> well, look, there's lessons for both parties. for the democratic party, we have to activate our vote. the republicans activate their vote. but the democrats this year haven't done as good a job as the republicans in that regard. the voter turnout in virginia was down by half since last year. now, i don't think half of all voters in virginia just disappeared. what happened was that some of them felt motivated to vote and too many of the people on our side didn't feel motivated to vote. that's why there was such a sharp drop in both states. we have to motivate our base. >> it was interesting that the exit polls in virginia and new jersey, both of them said that they still like president obama. that their vote had nothing to do with him. do you agree with that? >> well, look, people elected obama, they elected me, they elected the democrats and put us in charge of the government, because they want change. and they need to see more of it.
